Transmission Fluid Level Check

2010 Ford Transit Connect Van CargoSECTION Transmission Fluid Level Check
NOTE: The transmission fluid should be checked at normal operating temperature 49°C-60°C (120°F-140°F) on a level surface. Normal operating temperature can be reached after approximately 32 km (20 mi) of driving and can be checked using the scan tool.

Under normal circumstances the transmission fluid level should be checked during normal maintenance. If the transaxle starts to slip, shifts slowly or shows signs of transmission fluid leaking, the transmission fluid level should be checked.

  1. Drive the vehicle 30 km (18.75 mi) or until the vehicle reaches normal operating temperature.
  2. Park the vehicle on a level surface and engage the parking brake.
  3. With foot on the brake, start the engine and move the selector lever through all the gear ranges. Allow sufficient time for each gear to engage.
  4. Place the selector lever in PARK and leave the engine running.
  5. Remove the transmission fluid level indicator and wipe it clean with a lint free cloth.
  6. Install the transmission fluid level indicator, making sure that it is fully seated in the transaxle filler tube.
  7. Remove the transmission fluid level indicator. The transmission fluid should be within the designated areas.
